There were 3 instances during the 1800s where the winner of the election lost the popular vote. 1824 - Adams, 1876 - Hayes, and 1888 - Harrison. There were strong suspicions of voter fraud and corruption in each case.
Only happened twice since. 2000 - Bush, and now 2016 - Trump.
Pretty amazing if you think about it.
